Lips, the ultimate in drag dining, hosted a not-your-ordinary Holiday Toy Drive to benefit Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center (CDTC) during its Drag-a-licious Brunch on Sunday, December 11. Attendees brought a huge collection of toys and Lips made a $2,500 donation.

“Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center is grateful for Lips which has been committed for years to our organization in support of our kids,” said Ana E. Calderon Randazzo, Ph.D. of Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center. “Lips always offers a great time and our supporters enjoyed it while helping collect toys for our families in need!”

Attendees to this festive brunch had two reasons to enjoy Lips’ show palace experience. One was to celebrate Lips’ show hostess, Nicolette’s birthday and the other to support CDTC. Show-goers experienced soulful and uplifting music performed by the ladies of Lips who also served Lips’ world-famous all-inclusive Sunday brunch with bottomless Bloody Marys, mimosas and Champagne.

“We remain committed to collecting toys and raising funds for Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center,” said Yvonne Lamé, Lips founder and co-owner. “Now, especially, we’re embracing the spirit of giving and we encourage the community to provide local kids with hope for the holidays.”
